How to avoid watching Game of Thrones sex scenes with your parents

We've all been there. You're sat down on the sofa, enjoying your favorite TV show and then your parents walk in just at the exact moment the sex scene begins.

Suddenly you feel the need to justify why you're watching Game of Thrones, because all your mom can see is naked women or Alfie Allen's dangly bits.

HBO, the US TV network famed for not only making some of the finest television of all time but also some of the naughtiest, has revealed that it understands our pain. In a series of videos, they poke fun at the terrible embarrassment of having to watch awkward scenes with your parents.

From the frequent sex and violence in the likes of Game of Thrones and True Blood to Lena Dunham's 'oh-God-no!' sex scenes in Girls, the channel is full of moments that you'd probably not want to watch with anyone from your family in the same room.

The 'Awkward Family Viewing' adverts are promoting the HBO Go subscription streaming service, which means that you can watch your favorite shows, in your own bedroom, without your dad popping in to ask questions.
